CHEM 365 - Green Chemistry and the Environment

Credit(s): 2
Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 0
When Offered: Spring - Even

Green chemistry, the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances, addresses the need to produce the goods and services that society depends on in a more environmentally benign manner. The emphasis is on atom economy and reduction of chemical resource and energy consumption at the source rather than subsequent pollution remediation. The practice of green chemistry as applied to aspects of analytical, biological, inorganic, organic and polymer chemistry in real-world cases will be investigated.

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 320 and CHEM 341.
